The program committee for the 2005 Ohio Valley History Conference requests proposals for papers or complete sessions for the 2005 conference to be held at Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky, October 27 to 29, 2005.

The conference is open to papers on any geographic area or time period or from any discipline that has a historical dimension. Paper proposals from graduate students and those outside academia, especially those in public history or public archeology, are invited. Proposals for complete sessions are especially welcome, but proposals for individual papers will receive full consideration. Individuals who would like to serve as session chairs or commentators are also invited to contact the program committee chair. Proposals may be submitted by email.

Paper proposals should include a 250 word abstract of the proposed paper and a brief c.v. Be sure to include a contact address, preferably an email address. Session proposals should include abstracts for each paper and the name(s) of the chair, commentator, if known, and contact person.

All proposals for papers or sessions should be submitted by APRIL 15, 2005.

We will try to respond by the end of May.
